Question 7 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

Which of the following statements best describes the profits tenant farmers would receive in a sharecropping system?

Answer
A
Tenant farmers kept all of the profits from harvested crops.
B
Tenant farmers kept most profits from crops sold and also kept supplies, free of charge.
C
Tenant farmers kept some profits from crops sold, minus expenses and supply costs.
D
Tenant farmers received none of the profits from selling crops.

Explanation

In sharecropping, tenant farmers received a portion of the money earned from selling the crop, while the landowner received a share as well. Farmers also had to repay expenses and costs for supplies, so they did not keep all the profits. Therefore, the best choice is “Tenant farmers kept some profits from crops sold, minus expenses and supply costs.”
